Corporate Crime, Compliance & Forensics

Our Criminal Defence Department in Bucharest is recognised as a leading team of legal experts specialising in criminal law, with a strong focus on business-related offences.

We advise clients across key sectors such as real estate, energy, retail, transport, agriculture, automotive, banking, and insurance. Our team provides comprehensive legal support to both national and international clients, ensuring their needs are met to the highest professional standards.

Known for handling complex and high-stakes matters, we offer strategic advice and build tailored defence strategies. We have a strong track record representing clients before all public authorities, including the police, prosecutors’ offices, and courts. Our experience and understanding of the legal landscape allow us to guide clients through sensitive proceedings with confidence.
We represent clients at every stage of the criminal process, from investigations by general and specialised prosecutors’ offices (such as DNA and DIICOT) through to preliminary chamber procedures, trials, and appeals. We also advise on preventive and precautionary measures.

Our white-collar crime expertise includes offences such as abuse of office, fraud, embezzlement, fraudulent management, bribery, influence peddling, tax evasion, money laundering, and cybercrime. We also advise on regulatory breaches involving workplace safety, commercial espionage, smuggling, and other misconduct connected to professional or business activities.
We support clients in identifying and managing potential criminal risks through internal investigations and legal due diligence. We assess exposure, ensure compliance with legal standards, and recommend practical steps to reinforce organisational integrity.

At CMS, we take a client-focused approach. We are known for clear, effective advice, well-structured defence strategies, and a calm, reliable presence throughout even the most challenging cases. Our goal is always to deliver the best possible outcome for our clients.
